Smells like GTA, Simpsons style! And that clinches it, The Simpsons apper to never be allowed to have an original video game, at least while under Vivendi's custody.
Nothing beats this little beauty! [/steve erwin] 
That was the best Simpsons game I had ever played, despite me being 7 or something when I played it.
Got up to Doughnut land, I did.

, I loved that game!
Looks like this game has a bit of promise. But I'd buy this game just for the ability to explore Springfield alone
